HELP! Should I claim myself or tolerate my mom? Im 21, FT student, reimburse for everything myself. BUT...?
Wouldnt I get one and the same amount back even if I tolerate my mom claim me?
I filed 0 exemptions.
I'm so confused! Please minister to!
Answers: If your Mom did not support more than 50% of your own support, then she would not be eligible to claim you.. do you live by yourself? I assume you do since you read out you pay for everything by yourself. If you earn money at a job and have withholdings taken out.. you will want to file your own return claiming yourself so that you can acquire the withholdings refunded to you. If you didn't work.. next someone besides you obviously rewarded for more than 50% of your own support.. so that person, assume your Mom, would claim you. Best Wishes.
If you didn't provide more than partially of your OWN support then your mom can probably still claim you as a dependent.
There's a worksheet surrounded by IRS Pub 501 that you and your mom can use to determine if you provided more than half of your OWN support. (How much she provided is irrelevant. This have been the ruling for 3 years now.)
It's not a cross-examine of "letting" your mother claim you. You must use the worksheet in IRS Pub 501 to see if you bump into the support test. If you do, your mother can claim you and you lose your personal exemption even if she decide NOT to claim you for any reason.
As to what you would draw from back, that depends on how much you made. If you one and only made a couple thousand, then it might not bring in a difference. But the big issue is, if you don't live at home and provide more than 50% of your own support, it would be fraud for your mother to claim you as a dependent.
